The promise of this book is simple: if you buy this book on Friday, you will be better at your job on Monday. Do you ever find yourself: Prioritizing the demands of work over your personal needs? Struggling to build positive and collaborative energy with your team? Watching others gain opportunities while you remain stagnant and overlooked? Every future goal, complicated task, and healthy habit can be broken down into simple, measurable, and tiny skills that can be easily practiced and (...) mastered by removing obstacles, overcoming assumptions, and maximizing your potential at work and in life. In MicroSkills, Harvard-trained physicians Dr. Landry and Dr. Lewiss assert that your success does not require absolute self-sacrifice. You'll learn microskills of prioritizing your health, support systems, and personal boundaries. They encourage a collaborative mindset as opposed to an individualistic one. You'll learn microskills of sponsorship, upstanding, and collaboration. They argue the 'good enough is good enough' mentality can stall your career. You'll learn the microskills of building expertise, organizing tasks, and screening new opportunities. (shrink)
